Chapter 192: Just what does he want to do?

Han Yunxi looked at Long Feiye and Tang Li as her mouth twitched. Her stomach was full of doubts, though all she knew was that Long Feiye wanted her to poison someone to death. As for the specifics, she didn’t know a thing. But it looked like the difficulty would be quite high. The two men faced off, Long Feiye standing strong on one side, his potent aura the obvious winner.

“You and her are both coming. Cut the useless chatter and hand it over, or else your lordship will bring you back to the Tang Clan immediately,” Long Feiye used his last vestiges of diplomacy.

“You!” Tang Li felt depressed. He’d only escaped his wedding with difficulty, so he’d rather die than return. Long Feiye’s hand was already in front of him, so Tang Li could only compromise. “Long Feiye, you better guarantee that woman can poison those people to death. Otherwise, there won’t be a next time!” So speaking, he reluctantly revealed a black, diamond-shaped weapon in his palm and handed it over.

That’s the legendary Pear Blossom Rain Needles?

Han Yunxi immediately crept closer for a look, her eyes sparkling as if lit by lanterns. Long Feiye pondered as he looked at her. He was about to activate the switch when Tang Li hastened to stop him. “For goodness’ sakes, don’t waste it, all right?”

As soon as the mechanism was pressed, it’d launch and waste a needle. Each Pear Blossom Rain Needle could store 27 individual needles, so it could only kill 27 opponents. Heaven knows what kind of rare treasure could truly catch Long Feiye’s eye, but he allowed Tang Li to get anxious without really pressing the switch. He was only gesturing so Han Yunxi knew how to use it.

A good assassination weapon was not only quick and strong, but easy to use. After a simple demonstration from Long Feiye, Han Yunxi immediately understood. 27 needles corresponded to 27 separate little switches. A light press was enough to send a needle flying explosively towards its target. Han Yunxi silently sighed with emotion. Something like this was almost on par with modern-day firearms.

“You understand?” Long Feiye’s patience wasn’t half-bad.

Han Yunxi nodded as she accepted the Pear Blossom Rain Needles. Unexpectedly, she almost dropped the tiny thing since it was heavier than it looked. Seeing this, Tang Li laughed coldly. “Long Feiye, this is the woman you’ve taken a fancy to?”

Taken a fancy?

Long Feiye’s face remained expressionless. It wasn’t clear whether he’d heard the words at all. Han Yunxi narrowly avoided choking on her spit. There were different shades of meaning to ‘taken a fancy to,’ so which one did Tang Li mean?!

“A bit too weak, isn’t she?” Tang Li laughed again.

This guy. When he didn’t talk, he was somewhat like an Immortal, but his words really made him disagreeable. They’d only met for the first time, so she had no idea how she’d offended him. An angry Han Yunxi held the Pear Blossom Rain Needles like a handgun in one hand, the other supporting her wrist. Her index finger rested on a switch as she narrowed her eyes and focused, professional-style, at Tang Li. Coldly she asked, “You want to try and see how weak I am?”

Tang Li was startled and immediately dodged aside from fright. Besides his old man, there was no one else in the world who was clearer on the powers of the Plum Blossom Rain Needles. A simple mistake would cost a life!

Han Yunxi withdrew the Plum Blossom Rain Needles and stylishly blew a puff of air across its holes. She cast him an icy glance and said, “What kind of man gets frightened so easily? Pathetic!”

Tang Li couldn’t help but be a little dumbfounded by Han Yunxi’s cool act and unrestrained speech. For a second, he forgot to retort and almost felt like the Pear Blossom Rain Needles were Han Yunxi’s to begin with. The posture she had when wielding them was pleasing to the eye from any angle. All right, since Long Feiye had brought her along, he’d believe in her for the time being. Long Feiye took note of Han Yunxi’s stance just then as a satisfied expression flashed across his face. There was a fierce battle up ahead, but it doubled as a trial. He hoped that this woman could continue to please him.

Just as he and Tang Li were about to leave, Han Yunxi stopped them. “Hold it!”

She pointed to the mass of needles on the table and asked curiously, “Are these all assassination tools, too?”

“They’re useless,” Tang Li replied coldly.

“Then you don’t want them?” Han Yunxi asked again.

Tang Li laughed coldly and didn’t bother to reply. Compared to the Pear Blossom Rain Needles, everything on the table should be thrown away. They couldn’t match up at all. When Long Feiye told him to provide some assassination weapons for Han Yunxi, he’d just casually grabbed a bunch, but he was just going through the motions.

“If you don’t want them, then give them to me and teach me how to use them. I learn very fast.” The Pear Blossom Rain Needles were excellent, but the needles were useless once they’d been used up. Who knew how many years of effort and money were needed to make another one? Meanwhile, these other needles looked mass-produced from a glance. Last time at Medicine City’s Medicinal Forest, she’d been surrounded by assassins and deeply realized how weak her own poisoning skills were. Learning how to use concealed weapons was a fine solution. These needles were all small and exquisite; if she coated them in poison to attack others, she’d definitely get proficient in the skills with practice.

Since Han Yunxi was pleading for a favor, her smile was especially flattering.

Tang Li still had lingering fears from being threatened recently, so he had nothing good to show Han Yunxi. Raising an eyebrow, he said coldly, “This young master still wants those things. Don’t you mess with them.”

Stingy dregs, this fellow acted completely opposite of his looks!

Han Yunxi immediately dropped the needles in her hands. She wouldn’t covet them! Yet Long Feiye actually turned back and selected a few needles before tossing them to Han Yunxi. “Hold onto them. If you can return this time, your lordship will teach you personally.”
